My point relates exactly to what you have said. I believe that young people are not saying by their near constant use of their phones that a smartphone camera is a reasonable replacement for a...

Do you work with young people, webrunner5? Cell phones are a way of life for them, not an either or proposition, and I feel you underestimate their knowledge and taste for quality. Best, Seth

Does anyone have experience with the Canon SX260 or new SX280?  For a compact travel zoom camera with manual controls it may be an option. $259 and $269 respectively. The SX280 I hear has a glitch...

I'm asking about this here because you are a smart and informed bunch of opinionated photographers. ;)  A friend of mine is studying the Hebrew language in Jerusalem for the summer. I'm very...

Like me. ;)  I think the update will not disrupt anything we really like about Windows 8 while adding some user choice and usability improvements.

Maybe it will be as good as RAID. If so, then what a boon. If the two partitions are insulated from each other correctly that is... and time will tell. Auto backup in one card is a fantastic idea...

So only 41 more years of birds Danny? I'd recommend still life after that. ;) Cheers, Seth

35mm FF = 864mm squared.
Nikon APS-C = 373mm squared.
Canon APS-C = 329mm squared.
Sigma APS-C = 286mm squared.
Oly 4/3 = 243mm squared.
2/3" digicam = 58mm squared.

Here are the numbers so...

Yes, a sign of the times, but in the sense that these days good management and visionary leadership is rare. It's certainly lacking here. This is horrible news for photographers employed by...

Hey Brian,  Have you seen the news about Windows 8.1?  Interesting development. I may take back some of the things I've said in this thread previously since many of my gripes about Windows 8 will...

While I agree on one side of the coin, I can see the other too. No one can truly master everything, so then to be really practical within that reality, it must be said that mastery is not always...

I can only speak for myself. I love nature photography, but taking my 300mm f2.8 + TCs out is a very different business to bug hunting with macro rails and flash diffusers. I definitely go in...

How many "Nikon friends" do you have that have kids under 25? In other words what is your sample size for your conjectures? I work with teens and sponsor a photography club so my sample size is...

... and after it's announced, the angst just becomes a different kind until people get used to the idea.  Olympus has said over and over that there will always be a body for the 4/3rds ZDs. What...

By SLR I think he meant interchangeable lens cameras.  I don't think he knows the difference and I really don't think he knows what Olympus is planning for the E-7 or 4/3rds line.  Remember, this...

Living a life well comprehened and rightly conjectured is a fading art. Most people exist by impluse. No, they don't give mind to what is done to create the images they see in pictures, and even...

I agree that evaluating current mirrorless offerings may be worthwhile since the cameras you mentioned are dogs compared to the new gen.  The mirrorless technology has evolved much faster than DSLR...

Hallelujah! As an educator, I'm pleased that many parents see the wisdom in holding off on some of these more distracting technologies. They change person's brain and social interactions in...

Wow, llyaV, I haven't seen that title since you moved to Sony from Oly 4/3rds back in the day. Glad to see that your back with this potent little combo.  Great lighting and very nice posing.

Timing for buying 4/3rds lenses has never been better--but that's for people who are not dooms day predictors and know what they want. Personally, if I had money to blow right now, I'd update my...
